## Resource

Kim Dwinell likes stories more than the beach. Almost. Maybe it's a tie. She first had a career as a beach lifeguard, and then a career in animation (The Swan Princess, Cats Don't Dance, Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan,) and now combines her two loves in her first graphic novel, Surfside Girls: The Secret of Danger Point. She also teaches animation at CSU Long Beach. When she's not in the classroom or at her desk, she might be running a 10K or out on the ocean in her boat or on her board. She lives on a tree-lined street in sunny Southern California with her husband, son and Springer Spaniel.
